Adhesives and plastics are part of our world
Perhaps you have not considered that plastics have revolutionized the way we live. Many people take all the plastic products we have for granted. Adhesives are another similar substance that we use a lot in construction, preventative maintenance, and many other industries really. Think of all the caulking compounds, glues, tapes, joint compounds, and things we rely on in everyday life. And what about the trim and siding that we have and the adhesives that are used on them?
Plastics have made people millionaires and generated billions for big corporations in sales and profits, and without them, society and civilization couldn’t really do much. Good old Jack Welsh sure did well at GE. And all the research and development in adhesives is also amazing and some of the mistakes have brought us things like that sticky note that you have in front of you right now. Ah ha, I got you, see what I mean?
For years I have subscribed to Plastics Manufacturing Magazine and Coating World and I can tell you that in each issue there are new discoveries, from the manufacture of plastic solar cells to special one-coat adhesive paints for space satellites. The technology and innovations are truly out of this world.
So cool stuff we’re designing for the future. We should all be impressed with all of this and I can tell you that there is more to come. In fact, I myself have some innovative ideas to promote everything and I bet you could come up with ideas too, of course, some of my ideas are some exit concepts and other simple ideas that are needed now in the market to solve problems. . For example, hoses that move like snakes and pump water or airplane wings, which respond to compressed air and change shape.
And think of all the adhesives that have also completely changed the way we live and most people have no idea how things are done. It’s truly amazing what mankind has done with adhesives, from organic compounds for bonding plywood to super adhesives for composites, used in everything from dental work to all the construction and high-tech stuff we all take for granted. seated. The future is bright thanks to adhesives and plastics. Consider all this in 2006.
